Would the expression "okey pokey" annoy you if someone was saying it e.g. "okey pokey lets get your coat on and go". AIBU to get irrationally irritated and annoyed by such a phrase?

There's nothing wrong with 'fricking' shaggymaggy!

I keep finding myself saying "okyly dokely" like Ned bloody Flanders. I hate myself, and have ordered anyone who hears me do it to poke me with a sharp stick. Hmm

Yes, it would make me flinch.

Ha, my OH hates this. So whenever I want to annoy him I use 'hokey cokey, piddilly pokilly' instead of saying yes, or ok.

What annoys him the most is that our DD is starting to copy me Grin

My Dad is very very fond of saying "Shall we take a rain check on that" - in response to anything from an offer of a cup of tea to a trek across the Himalayas! Makes me want to break out the weapons of mass destruction on him.
What does it even mean ffs?

not heard of that one

agree having a cheeky something is fucking annoying made worse as usually said in silly childlike voice

any man who calls himself a cheeky chappy should be locked away

I find myself saying okily ma doliky. Usually directed at small children with an enthusiastic hand clap. It doesn't work so well on teenagers...
